Kings Fish Bar in Canterbury

I have not used this chippy for many years but, gave it a try tonight (Friday) early evening after a seafront walk.. I was 3rd in line to be served but waited 25 minutes for 1 portion of fish and chips! It was very greasy, especially the fish, and the chips were quite bitty. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy it on this occasion.

It was one of the best fish and chips for a long time. Cooked fresh, so a bit of a wait, but worth it.

I’m down for a little Holiday and I’m i really impressed with the service and quality of the food something I don’t get in my area at home .

The servers worked really hard to prepare a large order of hot sushi and the presentation taste and timing was perfect! As it was a large order I pre o ordered and paid a few hours earlier for them to have time to prepare it. They were punctual and the food was hot when it arrived home. It was so delicious we had E-bike Fry Chicken Katsu Tori Kara and all of the different flavours gyoza a: pork duck chicken and vegetable. There are also honey chicken wings. The price is good as it is traditional Japanese food served in Japanese take away containers with real Japanese wari bashi chopsticks- thank you Kings- you are King!!!!

We had promised ourselves a fish and chips supper whilst watching the sunset from Herne Bay's Western Esplanade. A Google Map search revealed Kings Fish Bar as having a very good rating, and is close to the Western Esplanade. There are a number of unrestricted parking spaces on either side of the road. There were no other customers, so served quickly. I ordered two medium fish and chips, and two bottles drinks, paid, and took the drinks to the car. On returning, I saw a sign in the window stating 'Seniors Fish and Chips' £6.50. I asked if that price was on certain days. She said it was available anytime, and was happy to change my order, even though they had battered the fish I had ordered. She did explain the offer was for small fish and chips. I stuck with my previous order to save them any inconvenience. I left the shop with the boxed order, drove to the esplanade, and ate. The food was still piping hot, and plentiful. There were sufficient chips left over to take home and grill the next day. The batter was light and crisp, and the fish was moist, not wet, which we prefer. Next time we will order the Senior's amount as my wife is not a big eater. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The sunset? Too much cloud, but still managed a walk to the pier and back. We will definitely use 'The Kings Fish Bar' again.

Brilliant local chippy, quite cheap, all freshly cooked. Even do sushi if you fancy something different

Lovely couple run this shop, I believe they are Japanese. I'm old and generally just eat cooked food but this Take away has an extensive menu including Sushi. I use this shop fairly often. Lovely couple, great Fish & Chips.

Tasty and varied sushi, and best fish and chips I had when we visited Herne Bay

I was a little skeptical when ordering sushi from a fish and chip shop, but I have not been disappointed in the slightest! The food was amazing, the raw fish tasted fresh and was better quality than I've had at a lot of other sushi places in Canterbury. The hot food was cooked in front of me so was still hot long after I took it home to eat, as well as tasting amazing and authentic

Outstanding as always! The sushi is incredibly good!

V friendly service. Tasty food. Well cooked and generous portions.

Food was all round delicious and hot. The fish was cooked to perfection and there was just the right amount of chips. Great curry sauce as well! Definitely recommended for a great fish n’ chips meal! Nick

The food is amazing. Always fresh and properly cooked. The only thing I would add at least one position with smoked salmon. I think most people prefer smoked salmon to fresh. This is the only place in Herne Bay which does proper sushi.

i love my home made shushi taste so yummy cooked fresh

Great sushi which is lucky because its the only place in Herne Bay that you can get it and my child's addicted to it.

Good fish and chips and also Japanese dishes fantastic

Nice fresh sushi, delivered early. Definitely recommend

Have ordered many times - quality of sushi is excellent. Have only ever had one delivery that was slightly late but they proactively called to advise. Great restaurant, quality, and service

Was debating getting this as I'm sometimes disappointed with sushi but it was unreal. So good and loved that my partner could get fish and chips too as he didn't fancy sushi! Will definitely be getting again as sushi is my favourite! Had some chips too they were lovely. For the price of the sushi it was some of the best I've ever tried x

Our food was so late the bags were soggy and the stuff nearly fell out, I know it’s not the restaurants fault because I rang the restaurant at 19:25 (due 19:05 - 19:25) and it had left 10 mins ago. The time then went to 19:35 then 19:44, on expected delivery; arrived at 19:50 - according the restaurant and the driver (who had no explanation of lateness) they only had 1 other order to deliver. All of the food was cold and the fish was really tough. Terrible service from the Just Eat driver!

Happy with the service and always delivered with a smile. 😊

Great sushi. Soy sauce arrived safely packaged as well. Very tasty

Excellent food, probably the best takeaway in the area. Ok it’s not cheap but it’s money well spent.

Tried the Sushi and have say the Sushi was very, very good. Up there with Sushi I’ve had abroad and in London. So will be returning and look forward to it. Also had chips etc. again very good, going to be my new go to place.

First time. Very happy. Thank you. :-)

Speedy delivery and delicious food, especially the sushi! Thank you!

Delicious food of very high quality as always!

Such delicious sushi and a great menu. Pleasantly surprised by how great everything was. Would definitely order again!

First time I have ordered from here and I must say the sushi was delicious and the chips was the nicest I had in a long time Will be definitely ordering again

This place has really gone down hill. Today will be the last day I order from them. Undercooked hard chips, dry/hard battered sausage. Even found a metal staple in my chips today, which is the last straw. How disappointing.

I usually like the food here, but I’m really disappointed to received under cooked chips AND a metal staple found in the chips as well. Disappointing.

Always incredible sushi! Best around

Batter was awful, fish overcooked, chips hard and not nice. Delivery excellent.

I don't think you'll find many fish and chip shops that can deliver fantastic sushi. We've enjoyed fish and chips from Kings Fish Bar for some time, always excellent. On this occasion we thought we would a selection of some of their Japanese dishes. We had a selection of sushi, they have a wide variety of dishes we concentrated on prawn dishes, they were all excellent, only matched by the service. Not at all what you would expect form a fried fish shop.

Very friendly good sushi love japanese Sodas

Excellent as always, thank you Kings Fish Bar for yet another sensational sushi supper

Delicious pie and chips with fantastic service. The pies were cooked just right and the chips were flaky on the inside; plus the curry sauce was made up just right. This is definitely one of the highest contender fish and chips shops in town! Highly recommended! Nick and June

Another excellent and delicious sushi order from Kings. There was a small delay finding a delivery driver but the restaurant called to inform me and I was more than happy to wait. My 2nd order in 2 days, I know, it's too nice. Thank you (again)

Excellent sushi as always, fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Usually on time delivery just a bit later than booked on this occasion. But overall delighted with Kings Fish Bar, would be happy to recommend and will definitely order again. Thank you.

Used this fish and chip shop for the first time Friday eve before going to cinema with family. Wasn't cheap but what is now a days. What was expensive was pickles, eggs, and onions two each added £5 pound to the bill and they were small. My grandad use to use these. They were very polite helpful and kind went out there way to meet my needs. Will use again they even have a sushi chef selling fresh sushi and all kinds now find that in a chip shop today. Will try that next time.

unusually the fish supplied was exceptionally dry to eat.

Fantastic sushi. Impressively presented and delicious! Will order again.

Delicious fresh sushi and chicken

Great quality sushi delivered in good time.. highly recommended

The sushi is very tasty and at great value. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Recommended!

Prompt delivery. Well packaged and presented. Cod & Chips still hot. Absolutely excellent. Highly recommended

Ordered many times Consistently good quality Consistently reliable and on time Great job

Delicious and loved being able to combine sushi with a bag of chips

Outstanding Sushi as always, thank you so much.

Sushi beautiful as always the burger was a huge let down I'm sorry to say.

Amazing quality, generous portions, so excited to be able to order freshly made sushi in Herne Bay. Highly recommend. Will definitely be ordering again!

I am a local, when I noticed this place did Sushi I just had to try it. It was excellent, red tiger prawns, spicy tuna, Alaska and sea weed salad are just some of the dishes I tried. My only criticism is the price on the shop board was lower than the menu in the leaflets. They charged us the price inside the leaflets. The staff are very friendly and the fish chips are very nice too. Don’t tell anyone! I don’t want to queue for too long for my food!

Always fresh and delicious- quality condiments and sushi made with love

Really good sushi! Will definitely be ordering again

Brilliant. Partner has fish and chips and I have the sushi. Both are best in town!

Really amazing sushi and wished I had ordered more.

The BEST sushi in my life!!! We will keep ordering!!!

£3.30 for undercooked chips. Definitely gone downhill. Won't be using again.

My 2nd sushi order from Kings and just as delicious as last time. A Terrific Tuesday Treat, thank you Kings & Just Eat

Excellent selection and perfectly fresh, delivered on time and nicely presented. Am delighted with my first order from King's Fish Bar sushi and will most definitely order again. Thank you for bringing joy to Herne Bay :-)

Outstanding food! Every dish I’ve tried is excellent

Awesome! I have had several deliveries and the quality is amazing! So great to be able to get sushi delivered now!

Amazing Sushi! Will definitely be ordering again.

Horrible savolys . Chips not much better… seem to be into the sushi more than the traditional fish and chip side of things

Lovely sushi really tasty will be ordering again soon many thanks

Went here for lunch. Lovely and friendly place. Was nervous ordering sushi at a Fish and Chips place but was not disappointed. The sushi was excellent and I can’t recommend this place enough! It is my go to for any sushi in or around Herne Bay!

I don’t usually leave a lot of reviews , but this place is amazing ! Some of the nicest sushi I’ve had in a while and a good selection of veggie options. Will be buying from again :)

Always great food and lovely service. Even with new owners the food is still great, probably better than before.

Excellent Fish n' Chips. Batter on fish was crisp and not greasy and good portion sizes. Really friendly owners and will be trying the sushi at some point.

Great food, very healthy. Very fresh.

The best sushi I've had in a long time! Fish is so fresh! And presentation absolutely stunning! Really recommend!

Love these chips. Nice owner too EDIT. New owners now! Quality of food has changed and I will not be buying from here again. I will miss the the previous owners chips.

Best fish and chips I have had in Herne Bay, will definitely use again.

OMG! What a place! Top sushi and tempura that is out of this world in a fish and chip shop in Herne Bay? Someone wake me up… this place is too good to be true!

Exceptional little fish and chip restaurant that also does first class sushi. The sushi is made to order and was faultless, the chips were also very good and extremely generous portions

I have been going here for over 20 years and not really seen much change in the menu over that time so when I saw they were doing Japanese food I was skeptical but thought I'd give it a go. 100% would recommend, ordered the salmon maki and the takoyaki, the salmon was incredibly fresh and tender and the takoyaki was some of the best I've ever tasted. Seriously, if you ever want Japanese food in the bay, this is the place!! Staff also super friendly, and the shop is the cleanest I have ever seen it. Super impressed with the new management and what they've done with the place!

Ordered some sushi tonight from Kings fish bar and wow! Felt extremely fresh - packed full of flavour. The crispy breadcrumbed prawns are a must! Will definitely be back. Also found out you get 10% off Monday to Thursday which was an added bonus!

We had seen recently this fish bar offering a range of sushi and we just had to try. They have such an extensive range of Japanese food. We ordered the takoyaki, chicken katsu and seafood salad with a melon soda. All items were so delicious, the katsu was perfectly crunchy and the takoyaki melted in the mouth. If youre in herne bay and want something different this is the place!

very good chip shop friendly staff

Food is really good and owners are very friendly- their new Japanese menu is delicious.

Have always got my fish and chips from Kings Fish Bar and when we found out there had been a change of ownership were a bit unsure about whether it would be the same. Well I have to say it was just as good, if not better, than before. The fish was a really good size and delicious and the chips were great. Will definitely continue getting my fish and chips from here!

I had the sushi from Kings Fish Bar tonight and it was absolutely delicious! 1000 times better than the places in Canterbury! So happy to finally have some decent Japanese food around here. The fish and chips are also perfect… thank you!

Visiting Herne Bay for a week we came across this chip shop on our first evening as it was near where we were staying. It wasn’t our first choice but we are glad we chose it as it was the nearest meaning we would eat them hot. Myself and husband ate every scrap. We had two cod and a medium chips. We were greedy as really there were too many chips. They were so good we also had them on our last night too and we’re not disappointed.

I’ve been coming to this shop for 6 months or so but over time I have seen the staff get treated worse and worse. The only good thing about the shop is the young girl who usually serves us and chats to us but today she was just taking phone orders and when I asked her why she wasn’t serving she said that the owners want to do it now, this is a bad choice on their part as she made the whole experience nicer and actually chats to customers. Last week I ordered a cod and chips and had to wait 23 minutes on a Thursday when it wasn’t even too busy and today when I went in there they had put the prices up again for the second time in 5 weeks!! It’s safe to say we will not be coming back and not recommending this service to anyone else!

Was the best Fish & Chips in town for years. Since it recently changed hands, absolutely awful. New owners insist on wrapping the fish separately to the chips. Everything undercooked, bland and dripping in oil. 4 people behind the counter and not one person with a clue as to how it was/should be done, probably not their fault as they are following orders. Such a shame. Eaten there twice, (benefit of the doubt) never again. Trust me, avoid...

Welcoming and friendly new owners. Delicious freshly prepared food. Herne Bay's best fish and chip shop is now even better! Highly recommended.

Best fish and chips I've had in ages. Massive portions, very fresh and a fair price. The staff were very friendly and the only downside was that the bag leaked oil on the way home.

Used last weekend (under new management) and it was the same high standard as previously. Big disappointment though was the 20%:price increase. 2 senior cod & chips up from £11 to £ 13.

Food was freshly cooked and delicious.Friendly staff.

Very clean and food and staff are the best and really helpful. I left my wallet at home one time and they gave me my order and said I could pay later...lovely as it saves me a walk home and back

Not been here for a while but everything was excellent, cooked to order well happy come again when in area

Chips delicious, hot, a generous portion

Went in for portion of chips had to wait 10mins but worth the wait

Highly greasy although tasty chips. Fish gave me a bad gut the nextday unfortunately.

A very good and warm welcome every time I have been to the fish shop And there fish&chips are lovely been useing for years now 100% reckonmend

Chips over cooked. Very very small portions and expensive. I won't be returning.

Food was cooked to order in good time, good portion sizes. Fish was great, chips were a little dry for my liking... But I must admit I didn't have vinegar on them! No complaints from the rest of the family! Warm and friendly staff. Free on the road parking outside.

The best and chips we have had in years used to buy from here regularly until my Grans passing as we from out of area

Chips were good but don't recommend the battered burgers, the meat is cheap tasting.

Really friendly, welcoming staff . Fish and chips always freshly cooked. Highly recommend. Still using this great fish and chip shop and it's till our favorite in the bay .Love the staff a really lovely admosphere
